<p>For general information about <b>Explorer++</b>'s toolbars, ie. moving, 
resizing, customizing, etc., see the toolbars <a href="overview.htm">Overview</a>.</p>
<p>The <b>Address Bar</b> serves 3 general purposes:</p>
<ol>
  <li>it <b>displays the icon</b> associated with the current folder (tab),</li>
  <li>it <b>displays the address</b> of the current folder (tab); this address 
  can be copied to the clipboard (if desired), and</li>
  <li>it allows the user to <b>enter an address</b> and, using the <a href="#go">
  Go</a> button, <b>jump to that address</b>.</li>
</ol>

<h3><a name="text"></a>Address/text field</h3>
<blockquote>
  <h4><a name="adrs_display"></a>Address display</h4>
  <p>If a location for the active tab is selected, by any
  <a href="../mnu_go/back.htm#history">valid means</a>, the address/text field 
  of the <b>Address Bar</b> displays the current address.&nbsp; If the address 
  is too long to fit in the space allotted (ie. the <b>Explorer++</b> window has 
  been resized, and the <b>Address Bar</b> is now too small to display the full 
  address, or the address is <i>deeply nested</i> in subfolders), the text in 
  the address/text field can be scrolled by placing the cursor in the field, 
  then moving the curser (left/right arrow, <font face="Courier New">Ctrl</font>+left/right 
  arrow, etc.).</p>
  <p>Text in the address/text field may be selected and manipulated (eg. copied 
  to the clipboard), by using Windows hotkeys (eg. <font face="Courier New">Ctrl</font>+C 
  for copy), or through the use of a small context (ie. right-click) menu.&nbsp; 
  The <a href="../mnu_file/copy_folder_path.htm">Copy Folder Path</a> operation 
  copies the entire address to the clipboard.</p>
  <p>&nbsp;</p>
  <h4><a name="adrs_entry"></a>Address entry</h4>
  <p>You may enter an address in the address/text field and jump to that address 
  by pressing <font face="Courier New">Enter</font> or clicking the
  <a href="#go">Go button</a>.&nbsp; The address must one of either</p>
  <ul>
    <li>a fully qualified path, ie. &lt;drive letter&gt;:\&lt;folder&gt;\&lt;folder&gt;\... etc.&nbsp; 
    An example might be:<br>
    <font face="Courier New">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers</font><br>
    Note that fully qualified paths should not end in the backslash ( \ ) 
    character.<br>
